It's as if everyone has a podcast these days, even forgotten former NFL player Mark Schlereth.
Most known for riding John Elway's coattails to two late 1990s Super Bowl titles, the Denver Broncos' old offensive guard took a cheap shot at New York Jets' quarterback Aaron Rodgers earlier this week.
While tackling the topic of "which QBs have to get it done this year?" on the Stinkin' Truth Podcast with Mark Schlereth, the hog mollie-turned-critic went on aside that condemned Rodgers for a lack of postseason success.
“Aaron Rodgers is a four-time MVP — one Super Bowl. One. We called the Green Bay Packers the dynasty that never was," said Schlereth.
In a possible attempt to gain relevancy, Schlereth proceeded to argue that the absence of multiple Super Bowl victories excludes Rodgers from being considered an all-time great.
"If you invite the greatest quarterbacks of all time to dinner and it’s like Thanksgiving, and there's one main table and then the kids' table on the side – Aaron Rodgers is sitting at the kids' table because he's got one championship. You don’t get to sit with Joe Montana and Tom Brady and multiple Super Bowl winners at the 'Big Boy Table.' I'm sorry," said Schlereth.
To be fair to Rodgers, one Super Bowl title and one Super Bowl MVP award is a lot more than almost every active or retired NFL quarterback can claim. The 40-year-old Rodgers has 12 career postseason victories, something the Jets haven't tasted since 2010.
Rodgers is ninth amongst all-time NFL passing leaders in yards (59,055) and fifth in touchdown passes (475).
Whether Schlereth cares to recognize it, Rodgers is an all-time great, just like Hall-of-Famers Dan Marino and Jim Kelly, neither of whom ever claimed a Super Bowl title.
